Given the deep corruption of the NC justice system that's become
apparent in the Duke Lacross hoax, that may be a mistake.


Don't fool yourself into thinking that you (or anyone else) is any better
off than NC, in that regard.

It only takes a couple people with big political aspirations getting ahead
of good judgment, for this to happen.

There's no right to a speedy trial in NC. Under Spivey the
prosecution can take years before they actually go to trial. Henry
Spivey sat in jail for 4 1/2 years without a trial, and the NC Supreme
Court said that was not a violation of his 6th amendment rights
because "the courts were crowded".

If the court is unable to meet its Constitutional obligations, the
defendant has ground for dismissal for lack of prosecution (unless
he's waived time).

Defendants in the present case filed motions to have their charges
dismissed in violation of their rights to a speedy trial pursuant to
North Carolina General Statutes, section 15A-711, not the federal or
State constitutions.


That's where the defense went wrong.

HONDAJET EUROPE
(http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive...ll.html#196478)
Honda, which plans to begin mass production of the HondaJet in 2010
has announced it plans to start taking European orders for its
HondaJet in 2008, according to Nikkei. Current production targets for
the jet have jumped to 100 units per year and Honda has applied for
EASA certification. Over 100 orders for the jet have been place in the
U.S. since Honda began accepting orders in October of 2006. The
company expects its engine-over-wing design and GE/Honda engine to
allow for a better than 30 percent fuel efficiency increase over
competing aircraft. Honda expects its jet program to become profitable
sometime in its fourth year of production (circa 2014).
